This might be a generous interpretation, but, hey, I'm a generous guy!
Prices fell moderately during the first hour or so, then gradually
fought back, more or less, to close down modestly.  Volume picked up a
bit, to +4% above average.  So on the whole it certainly wasn't a good
day, but wasn't a really bad day either.

Just how much more energy this Santa Claus rally has is hard to say.
We've got some short-term traders sitting on a quick 7% profit, if they
aren't leveraged.  They're looking forward to Main Street doing its
tax-loss selling providing an excess supply of stock over the next
couple weeks, and a typically tough January.  What would YOU do?  Me
too.  If I were actively buying and selling stocks, that is.

I've gotta keep harping on this.  As Master Yoda would say, "If stocks
you buy, sell you must."

 Price    Vola-    Momen-   Volume   Oscil-   Summ.

Timing Signals:  I don't use or recommend timing signals, but they're
fun to watch.  If I did though, well, I might use something like this.
(Be warned!!  It tends to whipsaw around signal points!)
